Hello This is well known issue for windows console applications. The octave also has the similar issue. However, to avoid this issue one have to trap CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT (that is you described as clicking on the x at the upper right corner) using SetConsoleCtrlHandler function, which is the win32api function. However, I have tried to trap CTRL+C by this api function to overcome the SIGINT issue for gnuplot for windows, the results was not successful. I can try to fix CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT issue but I do not have any confidence to avoid to it. One possible way to treat the issue in tricky way is to execute gnuplot.exe on the cmd.exe wrapper application like 'ckw'. I am using the Japanese software the ckw downloaded from http://sites.google.com/site/craftware/ckw/download/ckw-0.8.10-mod4-20100508.zip The reference is translated by me. http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/ckw/Reference-en.txt Known bug for the ckw-0.8.10-mod4-20100508. If the ckw command is execute by shortcut, it fails to hide the cmd console. To avoid this, you execute ckw using the start command in the cmd. cmd /c start ckw (options) Please also see the help of start command by typing 'help start' at cmd prompt.
